fasteagle12 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) Lots of great photos. Thanks for sharing Holmes' photos with us. Any idea what the markings on the intake of the Phantom represents? I've tried but can't seem to grasp the meaning of the numbers and letters around the silhouettes of the Phantoms. Edited July 8, 2012 by fasteagle12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stevehnz Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Nice group of pics, looks like a nice day out & not such awful weather as some other parts of the UK have been having by the look of it. Especially like the AN-2, my kind of aeroplane. Thanks for sharing. Steve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sierrascale Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Strange to see people in jackets and coats in the middle of summer. Me and a bud went to the USAF Museum yesterday - it was 104F! Lots of chicks in shorts and tank-tops. Oh, and planes too... What's missing is a photo of the elusive Holmes himself (herself?). Has anyone actually seen him? Or is he a myth? bob sierrascale Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jinxter13 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 OK now I'm officially very jealous, I can't get to an airshow like that and take really good pics like our good Holmes :worship: . Well at least I can be proud and jealous at the same time. Some very good pics and he included one of my fave's the venerable Tornado. Way to go Holmesy ya done good. Next time invite me along....naaah never mind me wheelie 'asn't learned to swim, and the Atlantic is very wide and deep. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xmh53wrench Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 ......i was secretly lusting over that Lotus 7.....well done, And I just adore Morris Minors!!!! Actually owned one for a bit...:-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HOLMES Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 ......i was secretly lusting over that Lotus 7.....well done, And I just adore Morris Minors!!!! Actually owned one for a bit...:-) ....I actually talked to the guy who was stood near the Lotus and had a peek inside ..the Leatehr seats etc was all hand made... When I asked about it the guy told ME that it was made on their premises in Newark..I said it looked like a kit car and he said that IT WAS a KIT CAR... they produced the kit and people bought them and this was what they were advetising.. there was another green sports car in similar vein next to it but the red was striking... I think you would have enjoyed that ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
